Congress destroyed Karnataka, tainted Ballari’s image; BJP restored it: PM Modi

Ballari, Apr 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday maintained that the Congress government had wasted its opportunity and ‘ruined’ the State during its five-year rule in Karnataka, and appealed to the voters to support the BJP for a better future for the State.

He also sought to touch upon the sentiment of local pride by saying that the Ballari region had a rich history, heritage and was blessed with immense natural resources, but the Congress was trying to besmirch its reputation.

The Congress was running a disinformation campaign in the country and abroad that Ballari was a land of thieves and looters. But the BJP-led government at the Centre had restored the region's glory by printing the stone chariot of Hampi on the Rs-50 note, the prime minister said.

"The Vijayanagar empire had shown the way in punishing the invaders. But the Congress is trying to taint this history for its politics," Modi said and called the state government 'Sidda Rupai Sarkar'. 

The Congress has plunged Karnataka in debts, but the ministers' chests are full of wealth. The people of the district and state should hold those in power accountable, he said. 

The Congress staged a drama of a padayatra to Ballari, but failed to formulate a mining policy during its five-year rule, Modi said.

He also attacked the state government for utilising only Rs 37 lakh out of the Rs 9,000 crore collected under the prime minister's mineral development project. 

Modi attacked UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for forgetting the Rs 3,000-crore package announced for the district after she won the Ballari seat in the 1999 Lok Sabha elections. 

The BJP chose Abdul Kalam in the past and Ram Nath Kovind now for the President's post while making Venkaiah Naidu the Vice President. Nirmala Sitharaman is the first woman Defence Minister, he said, adding that all this answers the Congress' criticism that the BJP is a Brahmanic, North India, anti-minority, anti-dalit and male-centric party.

For the past 4 years all Modi has done is  to blame congress with zero development to show. 

Now Modi wants the criminal Yeddy who was in jail to be our CM. Reddy brothers who were accused of completely rigging the iron ore mining  and defrauding the government and was in jail. Modi wants these criminals to be  BJP's wining candidates. To save our karnataka please vote for congress!

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday introduced the Karnataka Municipalities and Certain Other Law (Amendment) Bill, 2020, in the assembly to give voters the opportunity to reject candidates in civic polls.

The bill, if passed, will enable election officials to offer the NOTA option in the elections to municipal corporations on the lines of assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

An amendment bill which seeks to enable the government to set up a separate university for the districts of Raichur and Yadgir was also tabled. The government said the workload of Gulbarga University necessitated creation of a separate university for the two districts, a move that will also help reduce regional imbalance in Kalyana Karnataka region.

Another amendment bill seeks to allow industrial units, which have failed to start operations on allotted land after seven years, to sell off the parcels to another unit. Bills which empower authorised agencies to regulate turf clubs and horse racing and regulate salary and pension of teachers in higher education institutions were also introduced in the assembly on Monday.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday took strong exception to the BJP's celebration over completing one year in office and alleged that people are suffering due to anti-people policies of the state government.

In a tweet on Monday, he said that since the last six months pension due to physically challenged, old age and Widow pensions were not paid. He urged the Government Issue emerge order to release pension amounts immediately. It was shameful on the part of the Government to keep the pension amount being kept pending.

This government has no eyes and ears and claiming only challenging years and transparent government, what examples required for them, he questioned.

Mysuru, May 15: The Temple Town of Nanjangud was till now treated as one unit or a Cluster Containment Zone and was put under complete lock-down as per the containment protocol listed under COVID-19 regulations and Disaster Management Act, 2005.

However on Friday, some of the restrictions have been lifted by Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar who permitted certain activities as no fresh positive cases were reported from the cluster area. The Cluster Containment Zone was declared on March 29 following one employee of Nanjangud-based Jubilant Generics tested positive for the killer Coronavirus. As there were chances of the positive person spreading the disease to other employees of the factory, the cluster rules were enforced. Moreover, there were over 1,000 employees in the Pharma Company and a majority of them lived in and around Nanjangud.

The declaration of Cluster Containment Zone with complete lock-down and quarantining of all the Pharma Company employees proved a success to the District Administration as whoever tested positive – over 73 were later tested positive — had already been quarantined and the dangerous community spread phase was successfully prevented. To a major extent, the Corona virus curve has been flattened. As such, restrictions have been relaxed a bit on Friday.
